[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 382646, member: 24160"] Was a little concerned about the small 'L' (had 2 of them), but discounted that since I had full access to the router from my MBP, just no internet access. Am using MAC address filtering - would this allow me access to the router regardless of having the encryption set properly? And will using MAC address filtering actually prevent others from accessing the network or can a hacker work around this also? Will probably start looking at the new 'n' routers. Seems they will all have WPA2. Don't really have a lot of personal info to worry about except website log-ins, but am a private person. (Won't even sign up for grocery store discount cards that track your purchase history.) [/QUOTE]
